A Ph.D requires 12 years of schooling but if you're truly passionate about the subject, then you should have no problem. College professors get paid $80,000 to $90,000 a year! Not only is that great pay, but it's one of the easiest jobs in the world vs. teaching at the high school level which is a lot more stressful and pay is significantly lower.
